Hi support

Base on the below link. It come to my undestanding that the it is not possible to upgrade/install nagiosxi in a total no internet environement. As it still require to connect to CPAN and linux repo for package. The offline is not fully offline.

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... ne#p334106
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... onment.pdf

1. Is there a way we can achieve this requirement?
2. How do we have the list of all package/dependency required? (linux + cpan package + etc)

Thanks,
Safuan

Hi

Looks like the two issues you are having is Linux rpm access and CPAN access to perl modules.

Regarding the Linux rpms:

Code: Select all

Offline server must still have access
to RHEL Base, EPEL, and codereadybuilder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms (actual
or clone) for installation/upgrade.
Regarding CPAN needing access:
The Dev team says the required modules are included, however CPAN wants to go out and look for them.
They say if you wait (up to 10 minutes) the install will continue on from this point. The Dev team is in the
process of fixing/installing the install script.

Did the install process crash, or did you escape out of it after it seemed like it was being unresponsive?

Thanks
